WHAT I SAW IN BERLIN.-III.

Below will be found a third article był a special representative of "The Even ing News" who was dispatched es Berlin at the hlegiuning of October to dbtain a true picture of life in the German capital...

Sitting round a large corner table at the Café Fürstenhof with huge glasses of beer in front of us and a good after-dinner cigar, the reticence of the two officers what were in my company melted away slowly. Even the latest German atrocitios will not make me deny the wonderful convivial effect of a large glass of blonde cervogic.

"Spies 1" said one of the two young fellows, who looked like bursting out of his tight green-grey tunic every time he laughed. Why should we worry about spies. All the men and women, especially women, who wore supposed to be spying for Russia in Germany and Austria were | playing a double game. Bussia was penunded they were spying for her, and they were instead spying for us. A for useless and fantastic reports sent to Petrograd were good enough to put them in the confidence of generals and arch dukes, and so they could get for us very important secrets, Francs never had a proper sceret.service worth talking about, and the few attempts of England in this, direction were so clumsily done that it was really pathetic to see how the poor chaps got into trouble for sending home information and plans they could easily liave copied from railway maps and tourist books.”

What would I give, I said to myself, to be able to talk to them, to give them fresh news from England, to take home their letters.

It seems ridiculous not to be able to get somehow into contact with those men who are only four or five hundred
